About our asbestos removal in Great Bookham
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes.
In areas like Great Bookham, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.

Questions from Great Bookham
Do you work near Bookham station?
Yes. Bookham station is about 0.8 miles north-west of Great Bookham, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
